The lack of preparation for comprehensive coursework andclassroom experience hindered Participant A from succeeding at the four-year institution.Further lack of academic support and community prompted this student to reverse transfer.Transferring to a program that holistically supports Participant A made them feel more sociallycomfortable and academically supported. “I felt like I was welcomed to the college and to theprogram” Participant A shares that they would “start at the community college” if they couldstart over. Participant A is now on track to obtain their associates and transfer back to a four

InformationThroughout the country there are numerous employment opportunities requiring skills that canbe acquired through attaining a degree linked to Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math(STEM). Unfortunately there is often a gap between the number of jobs available and thenumber of qualified applicants. This gap is especially acute in the State of Washington wherethere are an estimated 25,000 unfilled positions of which 80% are high-skilled STEM or health-care related1.Washington State is the base of operations for such engineering and technology giants asMicrosoft, Amazon, and Boeing. The Puget Sound region is also home to many companies thatmay not be thought of as high tech companies but, in fact, require a highly trained technicalworkforce. For
